Star Witness: Top Syrian Media Host Abandons Assad for the Truth

[sysop]

For 15 years, Ola Abbas presented the news on Syrian state television and radio. After spending months reporting President Assad's lies and distortions about the uprising, she finally became the first media broadcast host to defect. Now she sees herself as a missionary for the truth.

As with many other defectors from the assad regime, including generals and politicians, this lady seems to have run away when she saw the writing on the wall. The people who really should be lauded are those who fought from the beginning.

Dear President Al-Assad:

It has been over 6 months since I first wrote to you, but you still continue to kill your fellow Syrians.

This time you are using tanks, airplanes and artillery to injure, maim and kill innocent people and obliterate buildings of Syria’s largest cities.

FOR WHAT REASON??

The Syrian people just want basic things in life:
• To live in Peace
• To live without Fear
• To be able to express their opinions and feelings

There are now:
• Over 20,000 dead
• Over 150,000 refugees who have left Syria
• Over 1,000,000 displaced citizens

WHY DO YOU KEEP DOING THIS TO YOUR OWN PEOPLE??

Look around, people who were once with you are leaving you because they know eventually you will lose and have to leave.

Leave NOW before more Syrians suffer needlessly due to your actions.

Sincerely,

Jack
Citizen of the World
